Summary:
Landers, California, is served by a single public school, Landers Elementary, a K-6 school with 139 students that operates within the Morongo Unified School District.
Landers Elementary shows notable strengths in specific areas, particularly in science, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages, and in 3rd grade mathematics, where it significantly outperforms its Morongo Unified peers. However, performance varies widely between grade levels, with 4th grade scores in both math and English being much lower. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, which is a trend the school is monitoring.
With 87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with high economic need. It spends more per student than many California schools, and while its chronic absenteeism rate is better than the district's, it remains higher than the state average. Overall, the school generally performs at or above the Morongo Unified district averages, positioning it as a relatively stronger performer within a lower-ranked district system.
